Accelerating Your Digital Transformation: Are Malaysian Companies Geared to Digitalise?
Malaysia’s digital economy is growing, but many companies remain at an early stage of digitalization.

Despite a regional automotive slowdown, Thailand’s EV market continues to expand, supported by policy incentives, local production, and foreign investment. BEVs and HEVs are gaining share, though infrastructure and adoption remain uneven. Charging expansion, skills development, and supply chain localization can cement Thailand's leadership.
Accelerating Sustainable Recovery in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia’s post-pandemic recovery is increasingly shaped by climate and social risks that demand regional cooperation. Aligning growth with ESG priorities through coordinated policy, sustainable finance, and stronger data frameworks is critical to addressing vulnerabilities and supporting long-term development across the region.
